Teriyaki Salmon

Submitted by: Heather

I feel like this recipe should have "curd" in the title, since my sister, Lisa, and I have posted two curd recipes back to back before this one. But, somehow I don't think that "salmon curd" would sound very appetizing to anyone...

This salmon recipe has been used by our family since my kids were tiny. I was always impressed that they would eat it so readily. When I was a kid and had fish put on my plate I refused to eat it. I remember sitting at my table for many hours until I finished my fish (or successfully fed it to the dog without anyone seeing). I'm ashamed that I never gave it a chance. I blame my older sister, Lisa (sorry Lisa!). I followed her in most things and she absolutely hated fish, so naturally I did too.
Now I really like fish. My husband sometimes calls this recipe "candy fish". Yes, it's sweet, but not overly so. It also has a nice peppery flavor. Try it - I bet your kids will love it.

Sprinkle fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder and salt. In a large ziploc, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, water and oil (I use much less oil than called for). Place fish in the marinade and marinate for at least 2 hours.

To grill: Remove fish from marinade and grill over medium heat for about 7 minutes on each side.

To broil: Adjust broiler rack so that it's approx 2" below the heat source if the fish is 1" thick or under; or place rack 4" from heat if the fish is over 1" thick. Place fish under broiler and broil, undisturbed, for approx. 4 minutes. It's done when opaque. If you need to remove a fillet because it's done before the others, make sure to wipe the marinade from the pan or it will burn.
